Learn How to Advise Families On How to Make College Affordable

I have learned most of the skills and knowledge acquired within this profession through participating in the various professional development opportunities offered through the national and regional associations. I am forever indebted to all former and current supervisors I’ve had the privilege of working with. They valued the active involvement of their employees within professional organizations, such as NACAC.

NACAC has allowed me to create professional relationships with colleagues across the world and I know that I can pick up the phone and call any NACAC member to help me in guiding a student properly or to simply listen when things can feel unfair in the college admission process. I am so grateful for the continued conversations on hard topics that affect our students.

NACAC has been such a positive experience in my career. It opened up a whole new world in admission and recruitment. The mentors I have gained through NACAC have pushed and encouraged me to step up and apply for roles and positions that have given me tools to better assist my students and make me a better all-around advocate for my students.
